Editorial Review:
DARREN, WAYNE AND J.D. HAVE BEEN FRIENDS FOREVER, UNTIL JUDITH, A GREAT-LOOKING, COLD-HEARTED BTICH, DIGS HER CLAWS INTO DARREN. AFTER J.D. AND WAYNE TRY EVERYTHING TO BREAK-UP DARREN AND JUDITH, THEY DECIDE TO KIDNAP HER AND REUNITE HIM WITH HIS LONG LOST LOVE, BEFORE SHE BECOMES A NUN.
Description of Saving Silverman (R Rated Version):
Darren (Jason Biggs of American Pie) is convinced that he'll never know love, since his one true love moved away during high school. To cheer him up, Darren's best friends Wayne (Steve Zahn, Out of Sight, That Thing You Do) and J.D. (Jack Black, High Fidelity) hook him up with Judith (Amanda Peet, The Whole Nine Yards)--little suspecting that Judith will tear their friendship apart. Judith wastes no time in taking over Darren's life, exiling his friends, and burning his beloved Neil Diamond records. If only Wayne and J.D. can bring Darren back together with his high school sweetheart (Amanda Detmer), who's about to become a nun. Saving Silverman is unquestionably of the There's Something About Mary school of comedy, throwing together absurd characters and over-the-top gags (for example, a scene of Darren getting butt implants, per Judith's orders). It doesn't quite balance everything, but Black and Zahn are engaging comic talents. Also featuring R. Lee Ermey as the boy's deranged high school football coach, whose advice continues to guide their lives, as well as a surprise appearance by Neil Diamond himself. --Bret Fetzer
Saving Silverman (R Rated Version) Reviews:
Saving Silverman review 
2009-06-01 - The movie showed up the first day of the delivery spread, and the movie is in great condition. I'm very satisfied. :-D
"Don't Make Me Take Away Your Masturbat**n Privileges!" 
2009-02-24 - Called "Evil Woman" on Region 2 in the UK and Europe, "Saving Silverman" is the kind of nerdy boy/girl gigglefest the Hollywood machine churns out for the Multiplex/Farrelly Brothers marketplace. So why should you bother? Because it's so much better than that! It really is!
From start to finish - this is consistently funny with 4 great leads working with genuinely witty one-liners and ball-breakingly funny scenes. The three boys all went on to be huge of course, and Amanda Peet has some fantastic lines as the controlling monster girl from Hell (including the title of this review). Throw in Neil Diamond in a fab cameo and you have a comedic peach that seems to have slipped through the net.
When I think of the number of films that I'm told are funny as opposed to this one that actually is - I wonder why it's gone unnoticed - or why someone decided to give it such a crap name and sleeve - especially here in the UK - both guaranteed to make you ignore it.
Hire it - or buy it for cheap - it's great fun. I highly recommend it as a wet-afternoon pick-me-up.
If you liked this - try also "Death To Smoochy" - another irreverent peach that passed most by.
So dumb. 
2008-07-27 - Saving Silverman is just horrible! The only actor that is good in this garbage is Amanda Peet, she is crazy and likeable even when she's playing a bi$%h. Jason Biggs continues to play a dunce and Jack Black over does it as usual. Steve Zahn is pretty good but you expect him to play a doofus. This movie is lame and pointless, don't see it!
SILLY & FUNNY IF YOU LIKE THE CAST! 
2008-07-06 - I have always been a fan of Jack Black and I have liked Steve Zahn in all the films I've seen him in. This goofy comedy has many funny moments, so if you like the cast it's worth checking out. The R rated version isn't all that much different, but in these types of comedy the raunchier the better!
You will laugh your a** off!
2008-06-04 - One of the funniest movies I have ever seen. I have watched this over and over, and anytime I have friends over who want to watch a funny movie, this is the one we watch. It's so stupid you just can't stand it, and you will laugh and laugh and laugh - and then you will order Neil Diamond's greatest hits!
